Marcus Rashford scored two goals against Arsenal on his Premier League debut last year

JOSE MOURINHO has a huge decision to make ahead of Arsenal’s visit on Saturday. With Zlatan Ibrahimovic serving a one-match ban, Man United need a new hit man and Mourinho has to decide whether to go old school or new kid on the block.

Wayne Rooney would be a relatively safe choice for a return to a striking role, but the more exciting prospect would be Marcus Rashford – exciting that is if you’re not an Arsenal fan.

The 19-year-old made his Premier League debut against the Gunners in February and scored twice in a 3-2 win. That came hot on the heels of his full debut for United in the Europa League, where he had bagged a pair of goals against Midtjylland.

Since the arrival of Mourinho with Ibrahimovic in tow however, Rashford’s first-team appearances have seen him operating in a wider role to accommodate the giant Swede as the regular No 9.

Rashford is presently on a run of seven games without a goal for Man United – 10 if you include his three sub appearances for England. This could be his chance to prove he’s got what it takes if trusted to be United’s main man up front.

It has been a little over 10 years since Arsenal’s last League win at Old Trafford (1-0, September 2006) but the visiting Gunners did have a 2-1 FA Cup victory to celebrate in March 2015.

Mourinho’s misfiring mob have stumbled through two draws in their last two home games in the league, though a 3-1 win at Swansea in their last run out included some glimpses of real quality from Paul Pogba & co. Arsenal boast the best away record in the division, having remained unbeaten while collecting four wins and a draw on the road.

Alan Pardew’s touchline scowl has been a permanent fixture in recent weeks. After a five-game unbeaten run in through September, Palace have lost four on the bounce including their last two home games. Pep Guardiola’s reign at Man City began with 10 straight wins in all competitions, but the six-game barren streak that followed coincided with a goal drought for hit man Sergio Aguero. Three goals in his last two games has seen City hit form again. Jim’s prediction: Away win

Everton v Swansea City (3pm)

I can’t see a repeat of Swansea’s 2-1 win at Goodison Park in January, though Everton have to pick themselves up after being thumped 5-0 by Chelsea just ahead of the international break. The struggling Swans are showing little sign of ending a 10-game winless run despite the arrival of former US boss Bob Bradley. Jim’s prediction: Home win

Southampton v Liverpool (3pm)

Southampton’s landmark win over Inter Milan in the Europa League was sandwiched by two league defeats, but striker Charlie Austin is looking sharp with eight goals from 14 League and cup games. Liverpool are racing through the season in top gear, with 10 wins from their last 11 games in all competitions. In just their last two matches they have plundered 10 goals, with former Saints striker Sadio Mane helping himself to a double in the 6-1 win over Watford. Jim’s prediction: Score draw

Stoke City v Bournemouth (3pm)

Stoke fans had to wait two months to celebrate a first win of the season (2-0 at home to Sunderland, October 15) but have now seen their team put together a run of six games without defeat. Bournemouth’s present bout of travel sickness has resulted in no wins and just two draws from five games. Jim’s prediction: Home win

Sunderland v Hull City (3pm)

Two of the bottom three teams in the Premier League clash but on the back of stirring comeback victories last time out. Sunderland trailed early on away at Bournemouth but a 74th minute Jermain Defoe penalty clinched a 2-1 win. Hull’s two-goal burst just past the hour stunned visitors Southampton with centre back Michael Dawson leading the charge in another 2-1 victory. Jim’s prediction: Home win

Watford v Leicester City (3pm)

Watford had steadied the ship since losing their first three home games in league and cup this season but they’ll need to regroup after a 6-1 mauling at Anfield a fortnight ago. Champs Leicester have the worst away record in the Premier League this term with one draw and four defeats so far. Jim’s prediction: Home win

Tottenham v West Ham (5.30pm)

You don’t have to dig too dip to see why West Ham are underperforming. We’re in November but not one of the Irons’ recognised strikers has managed even a single goal so far this season. Spurs are unbeaten at home while West Ham have lost four of their five games away from the London Stadium. The Irons were battered 4-1 on their last visit to the Lane but being a derby match this fixture is always capable of kicking up a few surprises. Jim’s prediction: Score draw

Chelsea's Eden Hazard has every right to be overjoyed after netting seven goals this season

Sunday, November 20

Middlesbrough v Chelsea (4pm)

Chelsea’s Diego Costa (9) and Eden Hazard (7) have notched 16 Premier League goals between them this season, six more than the entire Middlesbrough team have managed in 11 games. There’s been just one win for Boro since late August but the Premier League’s draw specialists have only lost one of their last five matches. Chelsea have exploded into life since Antonio Conte made some tactical switches after a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal. They’ve since won their last five Prem games, with just one defeat in the EFL Cup at West Ham. Jim’s prediction: Away win

Monday, November 21

West Brom v Burnley (8pm)

Not one to get you racing home from work on a Monday evening perhaps but don’t write it off just yet. There have been four goals scored in each of the last four games between these two, with the Baggies winning 4-0 in their last showdown at the Hawthorns in September 2014. In fact there’s been at least one goal scored in each of their last 24 games together, the last 0-0 draw occurring at Burnley in April 1968. Jim’s prediction: Home win
